Volunteering

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Humane Society!  Whether you assist with animal care or help out in the office, you will play an important role in helping to make sure that every pet is a wanted pet.

In order to become an HSKC volunteer, we ask that all prospective volunteers follow these two simple steps.

Step 1: Attend a Volunteer Open House

At the volunteer open house you'll get a chance to learn more about the Humane Society, what our volunteer program entails, tour our facility and "Meet and Greet" with other HSKC volunteers and staff members.

During the "Meet and Greet" portion of the Open House you will learn about all the different volunteer opportunities and have the chance to ask current volunteers and staff any questions you might have.

We'll also have all the information you'll need to sign up for a training session based on the volunteer opportunities we have open at the time. If there are no volunteer opportunities in your area of interest we will put your name on a waiting list and contact you as soon as a position opens! View all of our volunteer opportunites here.

Make sure to attend an Open House! No registration is required.

Step 2: Volunteer Training

Once we receive your application at the Volunteer Open House, we will get you scheduled into an open volunteer training session. At each training session you will receive hands on training for your area of interest. You will also be paired up with a current volunteer and set up times to "volunteer job shadow" them and get a feel for the position!

Age Requirements:

Please note that children under 16 years of age must volunteer with an adult at all times. We also ask that all 15 and 16 year old volunteers be accompanied by an adult through training and their first few volunteering shifts.
